Frequently Asked Questions
How do I initialize my Trezor device?
Start by connecting your Trezor device to your computer via USB-C. Open the Trezor.io/Start app, and follow the on-screen prompts to verify your identity and complete the secure initialization process.
Is my private key ever stored on my computer?
No. Your private keys are generated on your device and remain entirely offline. The Trezor.io/Start app only stores a cryptographic signature for verification, never your actual private keys.
What if I lose my recovery seed?
Once your recovery seed is written down, it is the only way to restore your wallet. Trezor devices are designed to be hardware-only, meaning you must have the seed to access your funds.
How do I update my Trezor firmware?
Updates are performed through the Trezor.io/Start app. Simply connect your device to your computer, open the app, and select the 'Update' option. The process is secure and automatic.
